But Achilleus weeping went and sat in sorrow apart from his companions beside the beach of the grey sea looking out on the wine-faced [oinops] sea [pontos]. 350 Many times stretching forth his hands he called on his mother: 'Since, my mother, you bore me to be a man with a short life, therefore Zeus of the loud thunder on Olympos should grant me honour at least. But now he has given me not even a little. Now the son of Atreus, powerful Agamemnon, 355 has dishonoured me, since he has taken away my prize and keeps it.'

  • Sample Odyssey Passage
    The Odyssey of Homer Translated from Greek into English prose in 1879 by S.H. Butcher and Andrew Lang. Book I In a Council of the Gods, Poseidon absent, Pallas procureth an order for the restitution of Odysseus; and appearing to his son Telemachus, in human shape, adviseth him to complain of the Wooers before the Council of the people, and then go to Pylos and Sparta to inquire about his father. Tell me, Muse, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company. Nay, but even so he saved not his company, though he desired it sore. For through the blindness of their own hearts they perished, fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios Hyperion: but the god took from them their day of returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, whencesoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto us. Now all the rest, as many as fled from sheer destruction, were at home, and had escaped both war and sea, but Odysseus only, craving for his wife and for his homeward path, the lady nymph Calypso held, that fair goddess, in her hollow caves, longing to have him for her lord. But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own; but all the gods had pity on him save Poseidon, who raged continually against godlike Odysseus, till he came to his own country.

    05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

    Inspire me, Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. Help me tell the story of Odysseus, the clever hero who traveled far and wide after he ransacked the famous city of Troy. He suffered greatly at sea, fighting for his life and the lives of his men, hop- ing for a safe homecoming. But he could not save his companions, as hard as he tried. The Greek warriors who escaped sudden death in battle or shipwreck sailed for home. They conquered Troy and were now out of harm’s way . except Odysseus. He longed to return to his wife and country. But the bewitching goddess Calypso held him back. She kept Odysseus in her cave, hoping to have him as her husband. All the gods took pity on Odysseus, except Poseidon, god of the earth-circling sea, who seethed with unending anger. Poseidon was determined not to let him get home. But Poseidon had gone to visit the Ethiopians, at the 1 2 HOMER end of the world. While he was off enjoying him- self, the other gods met in the house of Zeus. Since he was the father of gods and men, Zeus spoke first. He was thinking of one of his favorites, Aegisthus, who had been killed by Agamemnon’s son Orestes, “Why do men blame the gods for their own foolishness? Aegisthus could not resist making love to Agamemnon’s wife. Then he killed Agamem- non, though he knew it meant his own death. I even sent Hermes, messenger of the gods, to warn Aegisthus. Agamemnon’s son, Orestes, was sure to take revenge when he grew up and wanted to return home.

  • The World of Odysseus M
    THE WORLD OF ODYSSEUS M. I. FINLEY INTRODUCTION BY BERNARD KNOX Chapter 3: WEALTH AND LABOUR 6/19/17, 1245 PM Chapter 3 WEALTH AND LABOUR In the second book of the Iliad the poet catalogues the contending hosts, in the case of Greeks by the names of their chief leaders and the number of ships each brought with him. 'But the multitude (i.e. the commoners] I could not relate nor name, not if I had ten tongues, nor ten mouths' (II 488-9). The list totals 1186 ships, which, at a minimum computation, means over 60,000 men, a figure as trustworthy as the 400,000 Saracens of the Song of Roland. The world of Odysseus was a small one in numbers of people. There are no statistics and no ways of making good guesses, but the five-acre sites of the archaeologists, together with what is known from later centuries, leave no doubt that the populations of the individual communities were to be reckoned in four figures, often even in three, and that the numbers in the poems, whether of ships or flocks or slaves or nobles, are unrealistic and invariably err on the side of exaggeration. One of the smallest contingents in the catalogue of ships was led by Odysseus, a mere twelve (Agamemnon had one hundred and provided sixty others for the inland Arcadians). He is announced as king of the Cephallenians, who inhabit three adjacent islands in the Ionian Sea, Cephallenia, Ithaca, and Zacynthus, together with two sites apparently on the near-by mainland.

Nothing is positively known, and little can be conjectured with any degree of probability, con- cerning the author of the Library. Writing in the ninth century of our era the patriarch Photius calls him Apollodorus the Gi'ammarian,^ and in the manu- scripts of his book he is described as Apollodorus the Athenian, Grammarian. Hence we may con- clude that Photius and the copyists identified our author with the eminent Athenian grammarian of that name, who flourished about 140 b.c. and wrote a number of learned works, now lost, including an elaborate treatise On the Gods in twenty-four books, and a poetical, or at all events versified. Chronicle in four books. 2 But in modern times good reasons have been given for rejecting this identification,^ ^ Photius, Bibliotheca, p.

  • Notes on Odyssey Book I
    Notes on Odyssey, Book I 1. Prologue—invocation of the Muse 2. Council of the Gods a. Zeus seemingly wishes to note that Aegisthus, having been killed by Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, the leader of the expedition to Troy, in vengeance for his father’s having been slain on his return, has met a fate chosen by himself when he sinned, thus illustrating that it is not the gods that bring evils to men, but men themselves. b. Athena raises the question of why Odysseus’ return has been delayed, since he remains a prisoner of the nymph Calypso. Zeus points out that Poseidon has not been permitted to kill him, but only to delay his return, in vengeance for his blinding of Polyphemus the Cyclops, Poseidon’s son. But Poseidon, who is now in Ethiopia enjoying a sacrifice, will not be able to withstand the decision of all the other gods that Odysseus be allowed to come home. c. (Note: an analogy and a disanalogy between Odysseus and Aegisthus: they are both being punished by a god, but on the other hand, Aegisthus has ended up having been doomed by the gods for his crime, while Odysseus will end up the instrument of the gods’ punishment of others for their crimes against him.) d. Athena announces a plan: (1) Hermes shall be dispatched to Ogygia to instruct Calypso to let Odysseus go, and (2) Athena herself shall prompt Odysseus’ son Telemachus to prepare for his return. e. (Note: In these actions Athena embodies the role Hesiod’s Theogony gives her as the chief minister of Zeus as king of the immortals.) 3.

  • The Primacy of Ownership and the Problem of Plunder in Archaic
    • The Primacy ofOwnership and the Problem ofPlunder in Archaic Greece • • • .. • By Nelson Brunsting A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University ofWellington in Fulfillment ofthe Requirements ofthe Degree of Master ofArts in Classics • School ofArt History, Classics, and Religious Studies Victoria University ofWellington 2009 Introduction The goal of this thesis is to extract from the Homeric and Hesiodic poems Archaic Greek thought on the concept of personal ownership and its interrelation with plunder. As is often the case when working with the Iliad and Odyssey, the discussion is broader in focus than is currently the norm for academic theses. In this instance a wide-ranging scope is necessary, since the purpose is to identify patterns concerning ownership and plunder in the epics. The process of extrapolating the depictions of life in the Homeric epics to the conditions and realities of Archaic Greece is achieved most effectively by ascertaining unified portrayals of concepts as opposed to minutely analyzing singular occurrences in the works. This study utilizes an historical approach to the epics, following Raaflaub, who states: If we succeed in making a plausible case for the thesis that the social background description in the epics is sufficiently consistent to reflect elements of a historical society, we will be able to use the epics – despite their poetic nature and complicated history – as valuable literary evidence to illuminate a period for which we would otherwise have to rely almost entirely on archaeological sources.1 There is no intention to discount the archaeological evidence, but, as A.G. Geddes elucidates, “archaeology is particularly unhelpful in providing evidence about social institutions and social values.”2 Similarly, while Archaic lyric poetry sheds light upon these matters, it is for the most part beyond the scope of this paper.3 The focus is first to establish a coherent view of ownership and its relation with plunder in “Homeric society”; then, if it is not materially contradicted by other Archaic 1 Raaflaub (1998), p.
